I run a green Blackjack buffer in my SAR-1, and am going to put the black "extreme duty" one in my Poly Tech pre-ban for extra protection.They work very well with ne ftf's.Quiets down the action and less fely recoil and protects the rear trunion for years 'o plinkin' fun!www.blackjackbuffers.com

I have not been impressed by the Blackjack stuff. I had one shred up in an AK, but didn't know it until I took the dustcover off for cleaning. The remains of the buffer were just flying around in the action while we were shooting with no ill results......try that with an AR system...

I do use the Buffer Tech on my Galils. Mainly because they are so damn expensive. I especially use them on a .308 Galil since the action is very violent. It does help, and I have not seen anything negative to stop me from using it.

The Buffer Tech are also alot more substantial than the Blackjack system. Some rifles will work 100% with the added buffer from Buffer Tech, some won't. Try it. If it works, great, if not, well.....Mikhail knew about buffers and didn't put any in his AK-47, AKM, or AK-74.

For me it is mainly a preventative maintence issue on a rifle which costs too damn much because of some jackass politicians won't let it in the country.......

I had poor results with a black buffer from blackjack in my Vepr. 300 rounds all but destroyed it. Offered to send it back to blackjack so they could check it out, they said dont bother. Send it back where you bought it. Waste of money IMHO.

Made my own from a 4'x4'x5/16 sheet of soft natural rubber. No problem with cracks or splitting.

I know Blackjack has different hardness in buffers. I have red and blue.I have many rounds through my AK's and they look nearly untouched. I used them in all mine and haven't had any problems at all. WarDawg
